DELEGATIONS 1.
Funding for Development of Artificial Field at the Proposed Willoughby Community Park File 0550-07 Toni Burgess and Michelle Field were in attendance and Ms. Burgess commented that an opportunity exists for funding through the federal government’s Western Economic Diversification Grant for “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects. She requested that Council consider entering into a funding partnership to construct a new combination artificial turf soccer/softball field at Willoughby Community Park. Financial assistance is available for one-third of the project costs, to a maximum of $1 Million. She added that the Langley Field Sports Association recently voted in support of this partnering opportunity with the Township of Langley, Langley Girls Soccer Association, Langley United Youth Soccer and Langley Youth Field Lacrosse. She advised that the estimated cost is $1.8 to $2.2 Million, and that the benefits of additional artificial turf fields would allow expansion at reduced costs and all-weather fields, resulting in fewer closures and cancelled games. The community partnership advised that they currently hold $280,000 that can be applied to their one-third contribution, and would require Council loan of balance with a repayment schedule for the remainder of their contribution. It was communicated that staff will be bringing forward a report on June 15 that will seek Council’s support of this grant application and budget commitment. The deadline for the grant application is June 19, 2009.

PRESENTATIONS 1.
Cancer Clusters Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, Fraser Health Authority (FHA), Rick Gallagher and Dr. Nhu Le, BC Cancer Agency, were in attendance and provided a presentation regarding cancer clusters in the Township of Langley. R. Gallagher commented that Council had requested further information on cancer clusters in the Walnut Grove area. He provided an overview of various types and sub-types of cancer and exposures. Dr. Le then spoke to comparison methods for assessing cancer rates, noting that the Langley local health area with a youth population of 18,000 was used in the comparison relative to the BC population. He continued that the ratio of cases observed in the community relative to the expected number of cases indicated no excess cases of cancers in the Langley area for 1998 – 2007, and that 6 out of 10 years were lower than the overall BC population. He advised that there was no evidence to suggest a cluster of any cancer which might be due to an unknown exposure, and that changes were within the normal range of random variation. Dr. Brodkin, FHA, commented that the data is epidemiologically reassuring and that the number of cases over 10 years in the Langley community area was as expected.
